Oh dear -- I fear we may be in for another "formerly great burger" month.

Cam and I went to Bad Albert's last night, and had terrible burgers. They had that tough, monochrome, flat-sided appearance of foodservice patties, and were suspiciously browned (well, dark-greyed) only on one side. They were flat, chewy (not in a good way), and uniformly grey throughout.

How the mighty have fallen...

edited to add: They did come with some nice skin-on fries, which you can upgrade to salt & vinegar style for 0.50 more. Beware the (round-chip) nachos.

I'm no longer participating on Mouthfuls, but feel free to visit our blog.

as lead majorette of this month's burger clubjulie, the cruise director of april's meat boatcurrent leader of the patty...

i don't want to go to bad albert's anymore. moreover, i don't want to force any of you to go there either. thanks very much to anita and cam for taking one for the team - but it seems that the review in seattle magazine was from 2002. the burger statute of limitations has expired, i'm afraid.

this is supposed to be fun, and not punishment.

so, in an unprecedented (and hopefully not precedent setting) move - i am switching the venue for BOM.

sterling cafe their menu promises hand-formed, and it's north, so in my southern opinion, it's in the same general area as bad albert's.
